help please on what my baby should call my mom!!

[jekanikki23]

We are arguing like crazy bc she wants the baby to call her grandmaamaa  .. please tell me I'm not nuts and that is stupid? I mean I hate grandmother grandma especially grandmamama. Mom mom and Nana etc sounds more like something too call her closest grandmom does anyone agreeee?

[applejack7]

My mom orginally wanted to be called Mimi, but my daughter calls her Gigi. Sometimes the kid just haves to choose

[Lee86lee]

I think its a silly argument that you are having but my opinion. Your child will call them whateva he likes as long as its not disrespectful. I hope its not stressing you out becuz its not worth an argument

[heidei]

My son has three grandmas and two great grandmas. There is grandma, grandma the great and ..... grandmamamaaa. I thought it was cute and if u say it with the right tone kind of catchy. But it doesn't matter what your baby calls her because she will be his grandma either way

[jazzyjwilson]

Lol I understand ur frustration.... But I'd definitely vote for nana

[lguzmom]

My mother in law wanted to be grandma but my oldest insisted on calling her Grammy no matter how many times we said grandma. So it stuck and thats what she is now. Sometimes kids pick the name. Could just wait and see what sticks.

[jekanikki23]

Ok me and me my arn't arguing like that more of a discussion we are super close .. together r all the time. Me and my dad were dying laughing because she thinks grandmamama is cute and she said were nuts if we think other wise. So I had to ask others opinions and we were right. So thank u

Grandma.

I never understand the whole meme etc names. Why can't they be called what they really are. Like be happy that your grandparent.  Cherish it. But most ppl say it sounds old and what not.  Like for instance if your in your "30's" and ur grandma I would love it because you would be one hot grandma! My opinion. My kids calls my parents grandma and grandpa. Now my mother in law on the hand wanted to be called Nana but I stop that first hand so my kids call her grandma as well. So whatever you feel comfortable with.  

[figaro08j]

I don't think it matters.  You should let her call her whatever she wants. It's  her title. At the end of the day the child is going to say what she wants. My grandparents was trying to get me to call them weird names and i ended up changing it up. My grandma everyone calls mudda and my grandfather we call poppi. Lol. Thanks to me.

[collinsmumma]

Why not let her be called whatever she wants? It doesn't really matter cause the baby will end up saying whatever they want anyway. No point in getting all upset over her wanting to be called something. My son's father's parents wanna be called Uma and Ummpa. Do I like it? No but that's why it's their nickname and not mine.

Know what could happen tomorrow

[auntbee79]

Part of me is jealous you even can post such a question. My mother died almost 2 years ago. Please sit down with your mother and calmly discuss this and agree on a name. You never know but what you agree on may change as your child may have trouble saying it. You never

[Khigby]

Let the baby decide! Our first born decided what to call the grandparents! Our second and third just went with it! :) good luck!

[Mrsjackson0406]

My son calls his grandma exactly what she is grandma. She is a fairly young grandma, 54 years old and is happy to be one. I think whatever the child wants to call her should suffice.

[dianaexoh]

My son randomly started calling my mother "yaya" when he was quite young and that stuck, so that's what she's referred to as. She feels like "grandma" would age her, so she's happy to have a different name. Grandmama would make me cringe.

[rayemck]

My mom is called Geegee.

[JustJayy]

Well letting your baby choose for itself can kind of backfire because if you notice children usually call you whatever their parents refer to you as so if you call you mom "mom" chances are your child will end up doing the same I think it's easier to just establish what you want your child to call them my mom goes by "gigi" as well she feels she's to hound for grandma my step mom is still deciding what she'd like to be called but if it ends up being grandma I don't think it will make a difference.

[angeleyez1016]

I wld say let the baby choose...my neices picked meema and peepa for my parents and that is what I want my kids to call them....

[KelzLanigan]

My daughter calls her great grandmother Mammo,, my mother NooNoo, my patners mother Grams and her fathers motjer Nannie… maybe any of these may take your fancy :)

[APauling]

My parents can't wait to be "Grandma" and "Grandpa"! That's what I called my grandparents, too. With that being said, your little one will call her whatever he or she wants. My mother-in-law wanted to be "Mimi", but my stepson called her "Gammy", so now that's what she is for all of the grandkids and she loves it. That isn't something to stress and argue over though.

[kitkatneku]

My daughter calls one of her grandmothers "grandma" and the other one memaw. I didn't want her calling them mommom or mawmaw cause it sounded too much like mama. It might be selfish but I want to be the only one she calls mommy, mom, mother or mama.

I know people who call their grandparents g-momma or g-dad as well as it sounds more young and modern.

[army_mommy_to_be]

Out of 12 grand kids in the oldest and my grandparents never wanted to be called grandpa or grandpa, I ended up calling my grandma mama Linda and my grandpa papi Angeles. We're Hispanic so it's in spanish lol but like I just had my daughter and my mom does not wanna be called grandma. I would leave it up to the baby when they find something they like

[Teagan_Chelle]

I'd tell her just to let the baby choose what to call her. My own grandmother had a conniption about being called something that made her sound old, so she tried like hell to get us to call her something that would detract from her age: she succeeded with a handful of my cousins, but my brother and I ended up calling her Maw-Maw (I couldn't say what she wanted and that's what came out, and my brother followed my lead.) She still hates it to this day and tries to correct us, but old habits die hard, he he. Plus, I do it out of spite but that's a different story... Case in point, the baby will pick a name that it can say and will likely stick with it. Whether she likes it or not.

But I agree... Grandmama is awful

[mamabyIVF]

My daughter calls my mom grandma and my mother in law mamaw. Sometimes the baby will just end up calling her whatever sounds right to her but grandmamamma is awful
